The results are in, and the sophomore class won the spirit stick! Now, I know a lot of you are upset, surprised, confused, and shocked that spirit week took such an unexpected turn, but the sophomores actually won fair and square.

Anatomy and physiology teacher Leann Blair is in charge of formulating how each aspect of spirit week is scored and how it contributes to the win of the spirit stick. She appoints four “incognito” judges to judge each grade within the week.

The judges grade based on hallway decoration, class participation on dress up days, the organization of shirts in the front of each section at the pep rally, and how loud each class is at the pep rally when they do each cheer (C-H-H-S, Fight Song, Blue-White, etc).

The most frequently asked question has been, how are these aspects weighted? Blair says that they are all weighted exactly the same. There isn’t one factor that contributes to your score more than another.

With all of this information out in the open, now you can encourage your fellow classmates to put their best foot forward next spirit week. No matter who wins, school spirit is still the coolest contribution you could give to CHHS.
